How To Reduce Noise And Hum In Your System

The Occasional Podcast: Now on iTunes!

The dreaded hum at 60 Hz. A quiet hiss from the tweeter. There are numerous ways that noise can manifest itself in your audio system. Whether it’s obvious or not, any external interference in a HiFi rig is never welcome. The effects can be as easy to identify as those previously listed, but can also destroy that perfect sound you are aiming for in far less traditional ways.

In this week’s episode of The Occasional Podcast, we welcome the return of AudioQuest’s Garth Powell. Garth is a show favorite, and brings along with him a massive chunk of experience and information regarding the subject of keeping your system squeaky clean from outside noise. Tips, tricks and education, this show will point you in the right direction if you are suffering from any audiophile maladies in the “How To Remove Unwanted Noise From Your Audio System”category.
